The village was established in 1952 by residents of Zikhron Ya'akov and immigrants from Eastern Europe and Iran on land bought by the Palestine Jewish Colonization Association. It was named after Elazar Warmassar, one of the head of the PJCA.
Ada Barak's Carnivorous Plant Farm is located in Talmei Elazar. The farm, open to visitors, exhibits plants that eat insects, reptiles and small mammals. Barak also runs a spa that gives snake massages, after discovering that the touch of snakes has therapeutic value. [1]
